I believe you need to switch from 'passive provider chest' to 'steel chest' to keep it 'Available very early in the game'

That is why it says "optionally passive provider chests". Meaning you can upgrade to passive provider chests later when you have robots.

Features / upsides:

Compact, thus requires less material for logistics and defence walls.
Available very early in the game: Requires only the first two science packs for its relevant technologies.
Uses a sushi belt and optionally passive provider chests, so it can work with or without a ...

Very nice!

It could be compactified further by not having the output on the back.

Can be build incrementally while researching, thus a bootstrap factory
Self contained, thus no need for intermediate products on a main bus
Not included are: Miners, smelters, refineries, labs and a power plant
Compact, thus requires less material for logistics and defence walls
Requires only ...

Well, that is true but writing a new object doesn't work either: On an empty pipe adds 10 water at 15°C (default temperature).
So the temperature is ignored.

The temperature of fluids inside a fluid box can be read but not overwritten.
For example, when hovering an offshore pump:

game.players[1].selected.fluidbox[1].temperature = 100
Has no effect

game.players[1].print(game.players[1].selected.fluidbox[1].temperature)
Still returns the same value ...
